Laura of 'Laurart' is the second 'Top 3' merit badge winner from March. We are delighted that she said "Yes" when we asked her to do a guest piece for us and here it is...

"The title of this challenge led me to the nursery rhyme and I really
wanted to incorporate elements from it - silver bells and cockleshells
and pretty maids. A paper maché hanging of three circle frames provided
the perfect way to place the pretty maids all in a row....Pastel music
paper was chosen as a background, and I selected some vintage style
images of ladies. Antique Linen Distress Paint covered the frames -
sadly the stamped Bundled Sage Distress paint doesn't show up well here
in the photos taken in bright sunlight. The silver bells - made with cut
out card covered in pewter crackle paint, and 'cockleshells' were an
essential element. Keeping the colour scheme delicate, a pale peach rose
and die cut flowers covered with Tattered Rose Distress stain were
added. And that is how my garden grew!!!"

Another fabulous make to get your creative juices flowing, thank you Laura, this is beautiful!

We will be featuring another new piece in a few days so do pop back and see all the other delights we have in store for you. xxx
